Review & Rating
I had a great experience here! Clear, patient instructions on a quality vehicle gave me the information and confidence to competently drive stick. Would highly recommend.
About two years ago, I tried to learn how to drive a stick. I spent hours in a parking lot stalling and cursing, and made simply no progress. Spending just a few hours with Jorge at Stick Shift Academy, I was able to go around Watertown/Waltham side streets with no problem. Jorge is simply a great teacher, and very experienced and helping get people comfortable driving with a stick. He is extremely patient and very helpful with getting down the basics with lots of coaching and repetition. He focuses on making sure you know how to maneuver well between neutral, first, second, and reverse very well and as smoothly as possible. Additionally, Jorge does really care about his clients as people and your goals with learning. He was very responsive and accommodating and clearly works hard to do the best for his clients. I highly recommend Stick Shift Academy.
George is a great teacher. Before I took my lesson with George, I could not even get the car rolling. After 3 hours with George, I can comfortably drive around town. George is very good at explaining what you are doing wrong. He knows if you are holding the clutch or using too much gas just by how the car sounds and feels. I found George's lessons very helpful and would recommend it to anyone new to manual transmission.
Stick Shift Academy has a great reputation for teaching people how to drive a manual transmission car. The instructor is very patient and puts you at ease.
Jorge was a fantastic instructor. Very patient and helpful.
Great way to learn how to work a manual transmission or brush off a little rust if you already know. Detailed instructions in a friendly environment , and great spots picked out for practicing the specifics. Will you try things over and over until it really becomes automatic reflex. Car is great for learning too — not some old beater! Something you’d actually drive. Had fun.
This is a the best place to learn how to drive standard, the instructor takes his time being very thorough in teaching you how to drive a standard vehicle from beginning to end.
Awesome experience, definitely worth the money
Best place to go to for the knowledge, I managed to learn everything in under 30 minutes and after that it was just practice after practice which is amazing! Great instructor , 500 out of 10
Jorge is awesome, very patient and knowledgeable. If you're looking to refresh/practice, or even if you're starting from scratch, this is your guy. Highly recommended!
